"If it had to happen, who knows?" Feig said of the sequel, adding to E! News: "Anything can happen. I'm an optimist."

Feig further suggested that it would be "very sad" if Wiig chose not to be involved in Bridesmaids II, but said he hopes that a follow-up will eventually be made.

"The only way we'd want to make it is if it's as good or better than the first one," the filmmaker commented. "If we could get a script together that was great... I would hope everyone would come back and do it. We have so much fun together."
